Why I Have Given up on the Idea to Make Money With My Writing
It’s not because everyone on Medium is doing it that you have to as well.
In February 2020, In February 2020 I told my brother as a joke “I should have a blog to express my ideas” and he proposed to host it on his server.
“Why not”, I thought.
And so I started a blog.
I didn’t have any plans at the time. I just wanted to put my voice out there and express in writing my ideas.
I needed some sort of physical support for all the crazy thoughts that were going through my mind. I wanted to get them out of my head and into the world.
When I started, I didn’t fix any goals. I knew I wasn’t really good at committing to long-term work. I didn’t see myself writing more than 10 or 15 articles, and expected to quit as soon as I’d be bored, which is usually pretty early.
So I had decided to commit to nothing. Making the blog was free anyway, so I wasn’t going to lose anything if I decided to quit the next day.
And so I wrote my first article. I enjoyed it. So I wrote a second one. Then a third one. Quickly enough, I reached 20. It was fun.
